  1. Geometry Review Warm up In your own words write a definition for the following terms: Point • the most fundamental object in geometry. It is represented by a dot and named by a capital letter. A point represents position only; it has zero size (that is, zero length, zero width, and zero height). Line • a basic undefined term of Geometry. Lines extend indefinitely and have no thickness or width. In a figure lines are often showed with arrows at each end. Lines are usually named by a lower case script letters or by two uppercase letters with a line with a double arrows above it. Plane • A flat surface extending in all directions. Any three noncollinear points lie on one and only one plane. So do any two distinct intersecting lines. A plane is a two-dimensional figure named with 3 capital letters (representing the names of 3 points not on the same line) and the word plane in front. Example: Plane ABC Collinear • points, segments or rays on the same line. Coplanar • points, lines, segments, or rays on the same plane.

  2. Postulates and Theorems • Postulate 1: A line contains at least two points. • Postulate 2: A plane contains at least three noncollinear points. • Postulate 3: Through any two points, there is exactly one line. • Postulate 4: Through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane. • Postulate 5: If two points lie in a plane, then the line joining them lies in that plane. • Postulate 6: If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line. • Theorem 1: If two lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point. • Theorem 2: If a point lies outside a line, then exactly one plane contains both the line and the point. • Theorem 3: If two lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains both lines.

  3. (a) Through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane (Postulate 4). • (b) Through any two points, there is exactly one line (Postulate 3). • (c) If two points lie in a plane, then the line joining them lies in that plane (Postulate 5). • (d) If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line (Postulate 6). • (e) A line contains at least two points (Postulate 1). • (f) If two lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains both lines (Theorem 3). • (g) If a point lies outside a line, then exactly one plane contains both the line and the point (Theorem 2). • (h) If two lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point (Theorem 1).
